Is there a method or tool to generate the entire site-tree (as seen in the modx-manager) as XML for the frontend?
I tried using Ditto and Wayfinder. Also custom snippets with $modx->runSnippet() and some help from snippets like getField or hasChildren, but none of these really worked.
I want to nest each level (subfolder) exactly as seen in the manager-tree.
Ditto doesn’t do nesting.
Wayfinder does, but I can’t seem to configure the various tpl chunks to get what I want (i.e. get rid of <ul>s and <li>s etc.)
Basic example of such a generated XML:
<menu>
<item name="MAIN CATEGORY 1" action="1" page="0">
<sub name="SUB CATEGORY 1" action="2" page="0">
<subsub name="SUB-SUB CATEGORY 1" action="3" page="0" />
<subsub name="SUB-SUB CATEGORY 2" action="4" page="0" />
<subsub name="SUB-SUB CATEGORY 3" action="5" page="0" />
</sub>
</item>
<item name="CONTACT" action="53" page="0" />
</menu>
node-name: item, sub or subsub = TV value (radio button)
attributes name, action and page are just TV values
Is there something I’m missing? A special snippet, method...? This XML is supposed to power a Flash site, in case you wondered.
It would be trivial to output this for only one folder, but not for a 3-level deep structure with well over 100 items.
I got quite far with a custom snippet using $modx->runSnippet + Ditto, but the nesting is a hassle and it gets quite chaotic.
Does anyone know how the actual modx site-tree in the manager is built?
